GCAP coalitions from across Africa will join other African Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in calling for the African Heads of States to put development challenges and people's welfare at the centre of their discussions as they prepare to meet in Accra, Ghana, in July to debate the feasibility of an African Union (AU) government. African civil society should ensure that such a new government must focus on overcoming poverty, the respect for human rights, education and conflict eradication.
